Good for him. The extremists that Bush has been promoting who are well outside of the middle are getting old. The latest wingnut to be proposed is the Bush nominee to be the chief Pentagon spokesman, J. Dorrance Smith. It's crazy enough to hear the ramblings of the extreme right who think that any independent press is somehow anti-American, but this guy actually included Fox News in one of his tirades against the US media.
In an opinion piece published in the Wall Street Journal in April, Smith wrote: "Osama bin Laden, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, and al Qaeda have a partner in Al-Jazeera and, by extension, most networks in the U.S. This partnership is a powerful tool for the terrorists in the war in Iraq."
Smith also singled out U.S. networks, saying: "Al-Jazeera has very strong partners in the U.S. -- ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, CNN and MSNBC. Video aired by Al-Jazeera ends up on these networks, sometimes within minutes."
